I can’t stand the creep. He makes my skin crawl. I’ve known Carney was all smoke, mirrors and fog machine - spraying verbal ativan everywhere-from first hearing him. He’s a far more accomplished, therefore dangerous, liar than Sock Puppet.
I just found your Substack a couple of days ago and love your writing style. This article really impressed me, and helped elucidate something that's been on my mind since Carney seemingly strolled into office out of nowhere last year. It was something I hadn't quite been able to pin down, it always eluded definition, wriggling away just when I thought I had it - until reading this. You've hit my nail on its head.
The sheer level of curation around what he says and how is staggering. And for what it obscures, frightening. His tone is never dramatic, but not quite monotone. What is said falls rhythmically, a slow practiced march. To soothe. To placate. To dictate. This may have something to do with why so many dislike Trump - he is not curated.
And here I am reminded of a line from The Lord of the Rings, when Frodo says of Aragorn: a servant of the enemy would "seem fairer and feel fouler".
Thank you for helping to illuminate the fair-seeming foul-feeling I've long had.
You are spot on in your assessment. Exactly what I think of Carney and his approach. Said approach sure does not have the best interests of Canadians. What I really do not understand is why he wants to be PM when it is apparent his connection to Canada is tenuous at best. Is it to add to the resume and the greed that knows post job, he'll end up wealthier than ever?

It’s amazing how you manage to explain the ineffable!
I had to google ineffable. 😆

Thank you, I think you should start a Substack. You write very well.
Thank you! I was writing on it a few years back when I had more time. I might think about giving it another go.
You should. I can cross promote you too
Thank you! If the way allows I will get back to it.
Carney's tone reminds me of the way PRC diplomats often speak.

Excellent observations detailing what we see, but often can’t put into words.
I struggled with this one. Glad someone agrees
